That can only work when nine tails's strength can overwhelm his opponent. Pain's strength was very weak against nine tails.
And sasuke can go toe to toe with nine tails in power
Sasuke and pain may have some same jutus, but their power and strength obviously differ greatly
1 - Sasuke can't match Kurama in power. He uses other way to deal with that power. That's why he used a genjutsu before he used CT on Kurama.
2 - This is Naruto/Kurama. Naruto can add natural energy to Kurama chakra greatly increasing it's power. Sasuke normally doesn't have access to all the tail beast.
